Life is still life, whatever its pangs our eyes and ears and their use remain with us, though the prospect of what pleases be wholly withdrawn, and the sound of what consoles must be silenced.

More quotes by Charlotte Bronte
If he were insane, however, his was a very cool and collected insanity.
Charlotte Bronte
Too often do reviewers remind us of the mob of Astrologers, Chaldeans, and Soothsayers gathered before 'the writing on the wall' and unable to read the characters or make known the interpretation.
Charlotte Bronte
A new chapter in a novel is something like a new scene in a play.
Charlotte Bronte
Poverty, for me, is synonymous with degradation.
Charlotte Bronte
I wished critics would judge me as an author, not as a woman.
Charlotte Bronte
You never felt jealousy, did you, Miss Eyre? Of course not: I need not ask you because you never felt love. You have both sentiments yet to experience: your soul sleeps the shock is yet to be given which shall waken it.
Charlotte Bronte
To see and know the worst is to take from Fear her main advantage.
Charlotte Bronte
I like this day I like that sky of steel I like the sternness and stillness of the world under this frost.
Charlotte Bronte
Well had Solomon said,'Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Charlotte Bronte
Conventionality is not morality.
Charlotte Bronte
Out of association grows adhesion, and out of adhesion amalgamation.
Charlotte Bronte
The practice of hinting by single letters those expletives with which profane and violent persons are wont to garnish their discourse, strikes me as a proceeding which, however, well meant, is weak and futile. I cannot tell what good it does - what feeling it spares - what horror it conceals.
Charlotte Bronte
I am not an angel, I asserted and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself.
Charlotte Bronte
Flirting is a woman’s trade, one must keep in practice.
Charlotte Bronte
You ask rather too many questions. I have given you answers enough for the present: now I want to read.
Charlotte Bronte
Oh! that gentleness! how far more potent is it than force!
Charlotte Bronte
You, Jane, I must have you for my own--entirely my own.
Charlotte Bronte
That a greater fool than Jane Eyre had never breathed the breath of life that a more fantastic idiot had never surfeited herself on sweet lies, and swallowed poison as if it were nectar.
Charlotte Bronte
My wretched feet, flayed and swollen to lameness by the sharp air of January, began to heal and subside under the gentler breathings of April the nights and mornings no longer by their Canadian temperature froze the very blood in our veins we could now endure the play-hour passed in the garden.
Charlotte Bronte
Spring drew on... and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that hope traversed them at night and left each morning brighter traces of her steps.
